Here’s what you can look forward to when you opt to dine at Cala Bella for Magical Dining.

 

Key Takeaways

 

Course One

To jump-start your taste buds, begin by choosing between three beautiful dishes.

The Farmer’s Salad is a colorful array of garden-fresh ingredients, several of which were grown in our onsite garden, Emma’s Creekside Farm.

Greens like garden lettuce and longevity spinach create a healthy base for a salad adorned with carrots, cucumbers, blue cheese, slow roasted tomatoes.

The salad is then tossed in a bright passion fruit vinaigrette for a fresh start to your three-course meal.

If you’ve come to Cala Bella in search of more “traditional” Italian flavors, the Baked Meatball will surely satisfy.

A perfectly seasoned and tenderly cooked meatball is plated with robust red sauce made from San Marzano tomatoes, topped with melted mozzarella cheese.

A slice of crusty grilled focaccia bread will be your friend when it comes to getting every drop of the sauce from your plate.

 

A plate with red sauces topped with fresh tomatoes, grilled octopus, and spring greens.

 

Your third option is the Charred Octopus, a signature dish at Cala Bella.

This is a dish that appeals to the eyes first, with an assortment of vibrant colors and textures piled high.

Lightly grilled octopus sits atop a fragrant romesco sauce scattered with fresh heirloom cherry tomatoes, bunching onion, and mustard greens. It’s incredible that something from the sea can look like it came straight from the garden.

For an additional charge, you can also opt for the menu enhancement: Salumi e Formaggi.

This bountiful charcuterie displays a beautiful array of meats and cheeses, including 16-month aged prosciutto, spicy soppressata, and Pecorino Toscano. It’s a lovely way to tantalize your taste buds with a variety of flavors before the second course comes to the table.

 

Course Two

Now that you’re warmed up, it’s time to choose your entree.

The Oxtail Fettuccine is a rich and hearty pasta dish that will transport you to the Italian countryside.

Freshly made pasta is tossed with a savory oxtail ragout and sprinkled with stracciatella cheese. A sprinkling of bright green garden peppers and fresh oregano adds a visual contrast, as well as a fresh layer of flavor.

Another Cala Bella classic is the HertaBerkSchwein Farms Pork Scallopini, sourced from a sustainable family-owned farm nearby.

This juicy cut of meat is served with salty and savory 16-month aged prosciutto, creamy Tallegio Gold Yukon potatoes, and a flavorful Madeira sage jus.

If you’re craving seafood, you can try the Local Catch, a fresh fish perfectly prepared to showcase its unique flavors. It will be served with Cedar Key clams, earthy lentils and beans, and a rich smoked tomato brodo (broth).

 

Course Three

We hope you’ve saved room for dessert, since it’s included in your Magical Dining experience.

The Lemon Tiramisu is a fresh citrusy take on a signature Italian dish.

Layers of ladyfingers are soaked in limoncello alternate with lemon mascarpone mousse, all topped with candied lemon, mango passionfruit sauce, and a bright limoncello glaze.

The Pistachio Cheesecake is a playfully nutty twist on a classic dessert. The cheesecake itself is tangy, rich, and creamy, and the top is sprinkled with pistachio crunch, candied pistachios, and a bright raspberry sauce.

Lastly, caramel enthusiasts will fall in love with the Salted Caramel Budino.

This sweet and salty treat is made of salted caramel pudding and a chocolate cookie crust, topped with salted caramel sauce, carmel crispearls, and vanilla bean whipped cream.
